Preliminary investigations on isoenzyme variants of lymphoblastoid cell lines infected wih Theileria species.
The electrophoretic mobilities of seven enzymes from eight theileria-infected bovine lymphoblastoid cell lines originating in Kenya and Iran were compared. The isoenzyme patterns of phosphoglucomutase, malate dehydrogenase, malic enzyme and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were the same for all cell lines infected with any of the three Theileria species. Theileria annulata could be clearly differentiated from T parva and T lawrencei on the basis of three enzymes: glucose phosphate isomerase, glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase and aldolase. T parva and T lawrencei isoenzyme patterns were alike except for glucose phosphate isomerase, where two sets of isoenzyme mobility were shown which, however, did not separate the two species.
